Subject: U. S. v. Mauchlin, Investigation by Office of the
Inspector General into FBI Laboratory

In accordance with your memorandum of January 30, 1997, as
well as the January 22, 1997, letter from the Department's
Inspector General, Michael R. Bromwich, I have reviewed the draft
investigation which relates to the above-referenced trial and
subject. It appears from my perspective to be accurate and
thorough.

The only person with whom I shared the report was SA Michael
Hahn, the case agent in Mauchlin. He too agreed with my
observations regarding the completeness and correctness of the
Department's investigation into this matter.

Please feel free to contact me (717-524-7804) if you have any
additional questions about this matter. The letter of Mr.
Bromwich, the attached draft and your memorandum are herewith
enclosed.
